Problem

Backup Exec DLO was uninstalled and the BE_DLO.mdf needs to be migrated to the new version of Veritas DLO 7.0.

Solution

Steps to be followed:  

Create a backup of the BE-DLO database files, BE_DLO.mdf and BE_DLO_log.LDF.

  1. Install Veritas DLO 7.0 on a server class machine and select local SQL database instance.
  2. DO NOT launch the Veritas DLO Console when installation finishes.
  3. Stop Veritas DLO DB Service "SQL Server (DLO)".
  4. Rename the newly created Veritas DLO database files, DLO.mdf and DLO_Log.LDF that are located in the ..\Symantec\Symantec DLO\Data folder by adding a .sav extension to them.
  5. Copy the BE-DLO database files into the Veritas DLO data folder ..\Symantec\Symantec DLO\Data.
  6. Rename BE_DLO.mdf file to DLO.mdf and BE_DLO_Log.LDF file to DLO_Log.LDF file.
  7. Start the Veritas DLO DB services "SQL Server (DLO)".
  8. Run the SQL upgrade scripts available in install path ..\Symantec\Symantec DLO.  Go to a command prompt and change to the \Symantec\Symantec DLO folder and run the following commands.
  • osql -E -S %COMPUTERNAME%\DLO -dDLO  -iDLODBUpgrade20.sql -o logfilename20.log
  • osql -E -S %COMPUTERNAME%\DLO -dDLO  -iDLODBUpgrade30.sql -o logfilename30.log
  • osql -E -S %COMPUTERNAME%\DLO -dDLO -iDLODBUpgrade.sql -o logfilename1.log

Note: logfilename20.log, logfilename30.log and logfilename1.log contain the output result of the Data base upgrade.

  1. Restart the Veritas DLO DB service, "SQL Server (DLO)" and the Veritas DLO Admin and Maintenance services.
  2. Launch the Veritas DLO 7.0 console.
  3. If the services do not start, run a repair of DLO.
